Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:3

Theological / Devotional

Of a foreigner. That is, an alien who was not a proselyte to the Jewish faith, nor a permanent resident, but merely a temporary sojourner for trading or other purposes. Such a person was not obligated to obey the laws of the seventh year; therefore there was no need to put aside a creditor’s claim upon him (see Lev. 25:1-7, 20-22).
